Hi all - Jerry Young just shared this image with me, saying that it was forwarded from a friend of his who thought it was in a church somewhere in Pennsylvania.

Does anyone know where this is - and what the story behind it might be?! And yes, the artist either installed the window backwards, or didn't know how a front-action tuba is played!

Thanks for you help,
Dave

Jesus didn’t have grey hair.

Is that St. Bobo?

The window can't be left/right correct from both sides. I'd have chosen the inside, but don't know if there's any standard practice.

Now that I look more closely at the portrayal, I'm now realizing that the slogan which Christians shout out is not "Christ the King!", but rather, "Christ plays a King!"

bloke "Oh well...There's only one Elvis."

Now that you've said that, I can't unsee it.

Then that is a church worth visiting!!! (the next time I'm in Ithaca, where I haven't been yet.)

Hi all - we were able to get the whole story behind this unusual stained glass window.

That Episcopal Church does not appear at least, as whacked out as the Episcopal Churches around here, so, maybe?

IMO, some additional photos and would make for a nice ITEA article also.

According to the Organ Historical Society, that church has a Schlicker pipe organ. I wonder what their music department is like?
